Special Relativity cover

This non-fiction paperback, "Special Relativity" from Patricia M Schwarz & John H Schwarz, was published 14th April 2022 by Cambridge University Press.

'This well-written book will be extremely helpful for physics students who wish to go beyond what is most commonly taught and to delve more deeply into special relativity, for its own sake or as a starting point for understanding general relativity and gravitation. The authors treat many modern topics in addition to the classical material.' Professor Edward Witten, Princeton Institute for Advanced Study
'Patricia and John Schwarz have created an elegant book that uses special relativity to organize a sophisticated discussion of Maxwell theory, differential geometry, symmetry, and field dynamics. This book will reveal to the student the powerful tools that enhance our comprehension of physical theories.' Professor Barton Zwiebach, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
' … the book is well structured and organized, each treatment of a particular topic flowing nicely into the next … this is an ideal book for anyone wishing to obtain a good grounding in special relativity …' Mathematics Today
